Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 11 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Sardis, 21 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 32 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Columbus, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Columbus's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 9 (WTVM), CBS on channel 3 (WRBL), NBC on channel 11 (WXIA-TV), Fox on channel 54 (WXTX), CW on channel 38.2 (WLTZ), ION on channel 58.3 (WPGA-TV) and Trinity on channel 63 (WHSG-TV). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna SSW, at about 200°. The main network towers for Sardis sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WXTX and WLTZ, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles southwest of Sardis (211° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Sardis at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Sardis, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Sardis is WRBL (CBS), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WXIA-TV (NBC), 69 miles north, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.

With 11 stations at fair strength or better, Sardis ranks 274th of 386 places in Georgia: fewer than the typical Georgia town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 27 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
